The issue was whether personal capital could be compared with partnership capital to infer unexplained credits. The Tribunal held the comparison flawed and upheld deletion of the Section 68 addition.
The Tribunal ruled that penalty under Section 270A cannot stand where income is enhanced purely by estimation. Additions made by applying a higher profit rate, without incriminating material, fall outside under-reporting.
The Tribunal ruled that cash deposited during demonetisation came from genuine business sales already offered to tax. It held that taxing the same amount again under Section 68 and Section 115BBE would amount to impermissible double taxation.
The case examined whether full purchase disallowance was justified without rejecting books of account. The Tribunal held that in such circumstances, only a reasonable profit element could be added.
The issue was whether cash deposited during demonetisation was fully explainable from business receipts. ITAT held that explanations were partly unreliable and sustained 50% of the addition under Section 68.
While sales proceeds were claimed as the source, unexplained cash receipts appeared in the cash book. The Tribunal directed the Assessing Officer to re-examine deposits after detailed verification of records.
The tribunal held that adjustments made under section 143(1) solely on Form 3CD disclosures are not conclusive. Matters involving contingent liabilities and factual disputes must be verified by the Assessing Officer.
The dispute concerned late filing of an audit report triggering penalty under section 271B. The Tribunal accepted personal hardship and first-year audit obligation as reasonable cause under section 273B. The decision reinforces relief where delay is genuine and explained.
The Madras High Court held that companies could not file manual income-tax returns after e-filing became mandatory from May 14, 2007. A manual return filed for AY 2008–09 was held legally invalid.
The assessee claimed that cash deposits belonged to company debtors and past savings, which were not examined earlier. The Tribunal restored the matter to the AO for re-verification in the interest of justice.
